Product Notes

?'Mr. Fisher has combined elements of opera, dance, Indian raga, Japanese Noh theater and more into fusions that have both a ritualistic intensity and an improvisatory freedom...a strong, unified and strikingly individual utterance of unambiguous beauty.' -The New York Times 'Touches of pure dramatic genius' -Gramophone 'Haunting in it's simplicity' -Classics Today (which gave 'The Passion of Saint Thomas More' a 10/10 rating). 'Spectacularly eerie...The combination of chant, Norwegian folksinging, Indian Harmonium, English, Latin, and Norwegian infuses the work with beautiful desperation.' --The New Music Box 'The focus and beauty of the work stunned me.' --The Seattle Weekly.
